Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 234

(EP-234.1) #2

234 – Dawn #2

Every tool had ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a purpose.

Magic was no different.

According to Aira, all magic was created out of necessity and with a clear purpose.

It was as she said.

The heretics of the Spider Forest would revere magic itself as a grand piece of knowledge, falling into Gnosticism.

In fact, magic was the sail that brought seekers closer to the truth of the world. In other words, it was a tool.

Solomon, who was said to have reached the apex of magic, also understood this well. To him, spells and magic were created and developed with a thorough sense of purpose.

In that sense, the third rank Vassago was also likely created with a purpose.

“What kind of magic is Vassago?”

“Eum.”

[T/N: Changed Basago to Vassago. Author just now provided the English spelling]

In response to my question, the Guide Vassago recounted.

“Master... that is, my former master Solomon-nim. He, who had grand ambitions, realized that he didn’t have much time left.”

“He didn’t have time?”

“Life is finite. Therefore, to use the remaining time with maximum efficiency, Solomon-nim devised the great magic, Vassago.”

A spell to use time with maximum efficiency.

Just hearing such, it didn’t quite resonate. Perhaps reading my thoughts, Vassago smoothly continued.

“But my inadequate explanation might not fully convey its essence. With dawn approaching, we don’t have much time, so I will show you directly.”

Sususuk-.

The Guide picked up a nearby stick and began drawing on the ground. You might wonder what kind of drawing it was, but he was sketching a magic circle imbued with a profound meaning.

The shape resembled a wheel with eight spokes. When it was completed, my eyes felt cold as the cold wind brushed past them, and then my head started throbbing.

Soon, information flooded into my eyes.

「Vassago: High-Level Astrology Magic. Provides the caster with the most effective branches of the future. The higher the caster’s rank, the greater the effect.」

“Ah, Vassago is an astrology magic.”

It was a kind of prophetic ability.

No wonder the Guide could pose as a prophet. Well, it was more genuine than posing.

This ability was what made the Demon Monk.

Surely.

Having prior knowledge of the future would allow me to use my time effectively.

“To master the great magic that even my former master found troublesome... Angmar’s future is bright! If you absorb all the remaining great magics, the future my former master envisioned shall be a reality....”

As the Guide murmured something in awe, my heart pounded with excitement at the thought of using the newly acquired divination magic.

If I had this earlier, I could have won the lottery and lived happily ever after!

... No, I needed to focus.

Rubbing my palms together, I solemnly and clearly recited the incantation.

─Vassago.

Swaaaa-.

A cool breeze seemed to brush my cheeks. As a chill ran down my spine, one flood of information appeared before my eyes.

Diling-.

「1. Daily Goals」

「2. Today’s Weather: Clear then rain from late afternoon」
